Steak-Out No. 28 in the nation.

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 25, 1995--Steak-Out ranked number 28 in growth out of 550 chains surveyed for Restaurant Business.

Steak-Out has captured a unique segment of the food delivery market and is proving delivery isn't just pizza or Chinese food. Its 34.3 percent increase of systemwide sales from 1993 to 1994 helped cement Steak-Out in the top 50 growth chains. To qualify, according to Restaurant Business, "a chain needed at least $35 million in systemwide sales for '94, and $20 million for '93."

Steak-Out has jumped to 73 units in 15 states, across the Southeast, Mid-west and Mid-Atlantic. The most recent opening is a new multi-unit developer in Anapolis, Md.

"Home delivery continues to be the growth segment of the quick service restaurant industry," relates Joe McCord, Steak-Out Franchising Vice President. Since the company opened its doors in 1986, customers just call Steak-Out and char-broiled steak or chicken dinner is delivered right to their door, along with a baked potato and a crisp salad. President Don Harkleroad states, "our goal is for Steak-Out growth to remain in the top five percent of restaurant chains."

Corporate headquarters for Steak-Out are in Atlanta and Huntsville, Ala.
